Another rock-solid effort from this team is the 2015 Cotes du Rhone Roulepierre Rose, which is 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, all from a direct press. It gives up lots of cherry and garrigue nuances in a medium-bodied, rounded, textured and lengthy style. It will shine on the dinner table and keep for 6-12 months.

I loved the 2014 Cotes du Rhone Roulepierre Rose, and this blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah is crisp and lively, with classic orange rind, citrus blossom and fresh cherry-like aromas and flavors. The acidity is beautifully integrated, it has outstanding purity of fruit, and will drink beautifully over the coming 7-8 months. It's another killer value in Rose.

Showing a solid mix of richness and freshness, Amadieu's 2013 Cotes du Rhone Roulepierre Rose offers plenty of ripe berry fruits, citrus and hints of mint to go with a medium-bodied, dry and crisp feel on the palate. It's well-made and will drink nicely for a year or so. www.pierre-amadieu.com Importer: Weygandt Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
